Prof. Jürgen Heinisch leads the Genetics division at Osnabrück University's Biology department. His research focuses on prokaryotic/eukaryotic model organisms (E. coli, various yeasts/fungi), exploring signal transduction under stress, carbohydrate metabolism regulation, and applications in biotechnology (alcohol production, pharmaceutical proteins) and medicine (cancer, antifungal treatments).
Research employs classical genetics, molecular techniques, synthetic biology, and metabolomics. Key models include Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis, and Ashbya gossypii. Studies address oxidative stress responses, fungal cell wall biosynthesis, filamentous growth regulation, and glycolysis/pentose phosphate pathway dynamics.
Publications emphasize metabolic pathway interactions, fungal signaling mechanisms, and protein kinase roles in fungal biology. Active in collaborative microbial systems research within the university's broader biological research network.
